Hi,
This is the same problem I just had. Here's what could be your problem.
This is copy and pasted from a recent email from Richard.
>This looks line a python installation problem and not a Mailman specific
>problem.

>pwd is a standard python module used to access the password database on
>Unix systems and the error message you are getting is python saying that
>the module cannot be imported.

>You can confirm (or deny) this proposition by running python from the
>command line and trying to use pwd. For instance on my test system I get:

> >>> import pwd
> >>> pwd.getpwnam('barrett')
>('barrett', 'x', 500, 101, 'Richard Barrett', '/u/barrett',
>'/usr/local/bin/bash')
> >>> pwd.getpwnam('mailman')
>('mailman', 'x', 601, 601, 'Mailman Maillist Manager account',
>'/u/mailman', '/usr/local/bin/bash')
> >>>

>If you get an import failure after typing the import pwd line then you need
>to look to your python installation for the problem.
